FGRIO or FGR2-IO Slaves. The FGRIO Master does not operate as a Slave/ Repeater in the SCADA system. FGRIO Slave – FreeWave wireless radio transceiver that accepts up to a total of 4 input signals from sensors, then transmits these signals over air to the FGRIO Master. Two of the 4 available input signals can only be transmitted as analog signals and are labeled as Analog Input 1 and Analog Input 2 on the Slave’s terminal block.

(3) 1-5 Volt Sensor, Analog Input 3 or Analog Input 4 With FGRIO-S firmware 2.65IO or FGR2-IOS firmware 9.7, and FGRIO-M firmware 2.65, the Digital Inputs (DIs) of the FGRIO-S or FGR2-IOS may be digitized to 10 bit resolution and mapped to Analog Outputs (AOs) on the FRGIO-M.
As stated above, the DI does not have sufficient voltage range for direct connection to typical transducer outputs, so the input must be restricted. For signal replication, it is assumed the input signal level will be halved, and the measured value sent to the FGRIO-M doubled, to achieve an overall 1:1 signal reproduction.

Master to the rest of the existing network, repeaters can be used as they already are in existing FreeWave networks. The FGRIO Master will not function as a Slave/Repeater Q: Can the FGRIO Master operate as Slave/Repeater in the overall network? A: The FGRIO Master currently does not have the capability to operate as a Slave/Repeater.

Frequently Asked Questions Q: Can data be sent directly from the IO Slave to the Master of the FreeWave network? A: No. The FGRIO system functions as wire replacement only. The IO Slave does not have the capability of transmitting data directly to the Master of the network.
